Rain lashes the glass in a relentless, cold rhythm, syncing with the frantic drumming in my chest. Our apartment is a landscape of bruised shadows and silent accusations, illuminated only by the grim, grey light of the storm. You stand before me, a pillar of fury, while I press myself into the unyielding wall. My sweater is damp with my own tears, and a fine, uncontrollable tremor runs through me. "I didn't do anything, I swear!" The plea fractures in my throat. I see your hand rise, and I brace, knowing the blow is coming. But can't you see him there, in the memory? He took that kiss, you. Please. Look at me and see the truth.
